1927 NOSES OUT COLBY

Last Minute Throw From Foul Line Fails to Tie Up Score

An unsuccessful loss from the foul line in the last half minute of play enabled the Freshman quintet to retain a one-point lead and to finish victorious with a 24-23 score in a hard fought game with Colby Academy, Saturday afternoon.

Harvard jumped into the lead, 9-0, in the first quarter, and managed, to finish the half with a 17-9 lead, chiefly due to the fast playing of Malick. In the second half Colby played with renewed vigor and barely missed tying the Crimson score when Libby made his unsuccessful throw.

The summary: Eaton, Hesse, l.f.  r.g., Zanthos, Gray McCrum, Linn, r.f.  l.g., Gray, Libby De Ravignon, Malick, c.  c., Reed Lightbourne, l.g.  r.f., Jackson Malick, Hesse, r.g.  l.f., Batten

Score, Harvard Freshmen 24, Colby Academy 23. Goals from the floor, Malick 6, De Ravignon 2, McCrum, Hesse, Reed 3, Batten 3, Jackson 2, Gray. Goals from fouls, Eaton 2, Malick, Lightbourne, Reed 2, Batten 2, Jackson.
